[0033] To solve the above technical problems, with reference toFigures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides a controller, the controller comprising a circuit board 10, the circuit board 10 comprising a low-voltage control unit 11 and a shielding area 12, the shielding area 12 being arranged radially outward of the low-voltage control unit 11, the shielding area 12 comprising a wiring layer 121, a shielding layer 122 and an insulating layer 123, the shielding layer 122 being arranged on at least one side of the wiring layer 121, the insulating layer 123 being arranged on a side of the shielding layer 122 facing away from the wiring layer 121, at least part of the shielding layer 122 extending from the wiring layer 121 to the insulating layer 123, and at least part of the shielding layer 122 being exposed on a side of the insulating layer 123 facing away from the wiring layer 121 to form an isolation portion 124; the controller further comprising a housing 20 and a shielding cover 30, the housing 20 forming an isolation rib 21, at least one of the isolation rib 21 and the shielding cover 30 abutting against the isolation portion 124 to isolate the low-voltage control unit 11. Thus, the wiring layer 121 of the shielding area 12 is used for integrated circuit wiring to connect the low-voltage control unit 11, the shielding layer 122 of the shielding area 12 is a metal layer used for electromagnetic isolation, and the insulating layer 123 of the shielding area 12 is used to cover the shielding layer 122 to insulate the shielding layer 122. The shielding layer 122 of the shielding area 12 is arranged on at least one side of the wiring layer 121, and at least part of the shielding layer 122 is exposed on a side of the insulating layer 123 facing away from the wiring layer 121 to form an isolation portion 124. By abutting the isolation rib 21 and / or the shielding cover 30 against the isolation portion 124, the low-voltage control unit 11 can be isolated, and the electromagnetic isolation performance of the controller is increased.
[0034] In some embodiments, the shielding layer 122 can be arranged on either side of the wiring layer 121 to shield either side; the shielding layer 122 can be arranged on both sides of the wiring layer 121 to shield both sides of the wiring layer 121.
[0035] In some embodiments, when the shielding layer 122 is arranged on either side of the wiring layer 121, the shielding layer 122 can be abutted by the housing 20 or the shielding cover 30; when the shielding layer 122 can be arranged on both sides of the wiring layer 121, the shielding cover 30 can be arranged on one side to abut against the shielding layer 122, and the isolation rib 21 can be arranged on the other side to abut against the shielding layer 122. Specifically, the number of layers of the wiring layer 121 is at least one, the number of layers of the shielding layer 122 is two, the number of layers of the insulating layer 123 is two, the two shielding layers 122 are arranged on both sides of the wiring layer 121, and the two insulating layers 123 are arranged on a side of the insulating layer 123 facing away from the wiring layer 121. Thus, both sides of the wiring layer 121 have an isolation effect, and the electromagnetic isolation performance is increased.
[0036] In some embodiments, the number of layers of the wiring layer can be 1, 2, 4, 6, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1As shown, the shell 20 forms a containing groove 24, the controller includes an IGBT module 40, the IGBT module 40 is arranged in the containing groove 24, the IGBT module 40 is arranged on the side of the circuit board 10 facing the shell 20, and the IGBT module 40 is electrically connected with the circuit board 10. The IGBT module 40 is used for converting electrical signals, and the circuit board 10 can control the IGBT module 40.
[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the containing groove 24 has a groove wall 241; the shell 20 includes a connecting part 25 arranged on the radial outer side of the groove wall 241, and the controller further includes an elastic sheet 50 connected with the connecting part 25, the elastic sheet 50 extends to the IGBT module 40, and the elastic sheet 50 presses the IGBT module 40 on the groove wall 241. Such a design can facilitate the installation of the elastic sheet 50 on the shell 20 through the elastic sheet 50, and the elastic sheet 50 can play a shock-absorbing role on the IGBT module 40, reducing damage to the IGBT module 40 caused by shaking during vehicle driving.
[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the controller further includes an upper cover 60, the circuit board 10 is arranged between the upper cover 60 and the shell 20, and the isolation cover 30 is located on the side of the circuit board 10 facing the upper cover 60. The upper cover 60 forms a containing cavity with the shell 20, and the upper cover 60 also forms a containing groove corresponding to the shell 20, but the depth of the containing groove of the upper cover 60 is less than the depth of the containing groove of the shell 20. The isolation cover 30 is located between the circuit board 10 and the upper cover 60, and the upper cover 60 protects the isolation cover 30 and the circuit board 10.
[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the controller further includes a heat-conducting sheet, which is a ceramic heat-conducting sheet, used for conducting heat from the IGBT module 40 to the shell 20, and the heat-conducting sheet is arranged between the IGBT module 40 and the shell 20. During installation, the IGBT module 40 is placed on the heat-conducting sheet through a positioning tool, the elastic sheet 50 is assembled outside the containing groove 24, and fastening screws are used to fasten the elastic sheet 50 on the connecting part 25. During the fastening process, the elastic sheet 50 will be deformed to fix the IGBT module 40 and the heat-conducting sheet in the containing groove 24 of the controller shell 20. Then the circuit board 10 is assembled to the controller shell 20, fastening screws are used to fasten the circuit board 10, and then the shielding cover is placed on the circuit board 10 and fastened using fastening screws. The fastening screws will simultaneously fasten the shielding cover and the circuit board 10 on the isolation ribs 21 of the shell 20.
[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1As shown, the controller further comprises a sealing portion 70 arranged between the upper cover 60 and the housing 20. The sealing portion 70 is formed by curing of the sealant. During installation, the sealant is pre-applied on the periphery of the housing 20 by the device, and then the upper cover 60 is installed on the housing 20 and fastened by using fastening screws. During the fastening process, the sealant flows in the gap between the upper cover 60 and the housing 20, ensuring that the sealant can fill every gap, and after curing, the sealing portion 70 is formed to play a sealing role.
[0041] In some embodiments, the upper cover 60 is formed by sheet metal stamping process of steel plate or aluminum plate. The sealing portion 70 as a sealing medium can reduce the bending deformation of the upper cover 60 and improve the sealing effect. At the same time, the sealing portion 70 has certain adhesion, so that the upper cover 60 and the housing 20 are adhered to each other, and a small amount of screws can meet the assembly and fastening effect.
[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the shielding layer 122 comprises a first shielding layer 1221 and a second shielding layer 1222. In combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the isolation portion 124 comprises a first isolation portion 1241 and a second isolation portion 1242. Part of the first shielding layer 1221 is exposed on the side of the insulating layer 123 away from the wiring layer 121 to form the first isolation portion 1241, and part of the second shielding layer 1222 is exposed on the side of the insulating layer 123 away from the wiring layer 121 to form the second isolation portion 1242. The projection of the first isolation portion 1241 on the housing 20 does not coincide with the projection of the second isolation portion 1242 on the housing 20. The isolation rib 21 abuts against the first isolation portion 1241, and the isolation cover 30 abuts against the second isolation portion 1242. The projection of the first isolation portion 1241 on the housing 20 does not coincide with the projection of the second isolation portion 1242 on the housing 20, or coincide with the projection of the second isolation portion 1242 on the housing 20, which is set according to actual needs. When the projection of the first isolation portion 1241 on the housing 20 does not coincide with the projection of the second isolation portion 1242 on the housing 20, that is, the first isolation portion 1241 and the isolation portion 124 are staggered in the vertical direction, so as to prevent the size of the housing 20 and / or the isolation cover 30 from being limited due to assembly limitation, resulting in insufficient isolation. Therefore, such design can increase the isolation effect.
[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7As shown, the isolation rib 21 is protrudingly arranged on the shell 20 to form a first isolation cavity 22; the isolation cover 30 forms a second isolation cavity 31; the low-voltage control unit 11 comprises a first control part 111 and a second control part 112, the first control part 111 is protrudingly arranged on the circuit board 10 towards the shell 20, the second control part 112 is protrudingly arranged on the circuit board 10 towards the isolation cover 30, the first control part 111 is arranged in the first isolation cavity 22, and the second control part 112 is arranged in the second isolation cavity 31. The first control part 111 and the second control part 112 can comprise electronic elements such as pins, capacitors, resistors, etc., which are specifically selected according to actual conditions, at least part of the electronic elements are protrudingly arranged on the circuit board 10 towards the isolation cover 30, and at least part of the electronic elements are protrudingly arranged on the circuit board 10 towards the shell 20, so that the first isolation cavity 22 formed can accommodate the first control part 111, the second isolation cavity 31 formed can accommodate the second control part 112, and a better isolation effect is further achieved.
[0044] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the shell 20 forms a hole part 23, the hole part 23 communicates with the first isolation cavity 22, and the hole part 23 can enable an external connector to pass through and be electrically connected with the first control part 111. The hole part 23 is matched with the connector, and the first control part 111 is connected through the connector. Thus, low-voltage signals between the low-voltage control unit 11 and an external host can be transmitted to control the controller.
